Eric Bolling suspended (and will probably be fired) for sending pictures of his junk to various female colleagues, and for apparently being just an all around slimey lounge lizard. But with this and the other suspensions, firings and assorted shakeups at Fox News over the last year, they've...

It might. They can't just bump up the price of the building (house, whatever) may because labor costs increase, any more than one can bump up the price of a retail item to cover advertising costs, or than an expediter can charge more because they got a new truck. The price is whatever the market...

Well, gee, winning the presidency and why people didn't vote for Trump is pretty much the entire context in which we were talking.

Yes it is. So there. The fact of winning the popular vote and losing the Electoral College only matters in Trivial Pursuit. If the national popular vote had been a relevant metric in determining the presidency, both Trump and Clinton would have desgined their campaign plans of attack very...

Oh, I know. :D Most public officials, probably. The president, not necessarily. There's a reason the president and vice-president are explicitly exempted from federal conflict of interest laws. And as soon as the American people see him beginning to abuse his power to serve himself instead of...

It took the MSM to discover this, probably when looking for hotel rooms to see it, only to find out there are no hotel rooms available, as they have all been booked for more than a year, but the best places to view the total eclipse on August 21 are places where people voted overwhelming for...

What's that phrase people use all the time? Oh, yeah, conflict of interest.

Nobody cares, because it's not important. It certainly doesn't rise to the level of colluding with Russia and/or being a Putin puppet. The people who elected Trump were fully aware that he had businesses, and they didn't care. The only people who care are the ones who want him out of office. If...

Keep sending? It's not like Americans have had copious amounts of opportunity to send spineless Republicans to Washington since Obama left office. BO (Before Obama) Republicans had a spine.

Traditionally, the former president, staff and candidates, once no longer a player, are left alone and are not prosecuted, because it is seen as persecution. Dictators jail their predecessors and competition, we don't do that. Also, Karma is a :censoredsign:.

Presidents traditionally leave the swamp in August for a week or two of vacation. If the West Wing (A.K.A., The Dump) wasn't undergoing much needed renovations he might not even take the 17 days away from the White House. Since he is, he's calling it a working vacation. Probably because the NYT...

Illuminating, aren't they? LOL

The short answer... Members of the swamp fighting the drainage thereof notwithstanding, the Republicans are, by and large, spineless little slugs. I would say it's because the Republicans have a big-picture sense of fair play, and they have an utter lack of the moral and ethical ambiguity that...

A couple of things... "Did not care enough to vote at all" is not necessarily an indication of indifference towards Trump. Some of the more spectacular post-election night liberal meltowns that can be viewed on YouTube are by people who admit they did not vote. Interviews on the street during...

Not real: Half the Detroit mayoral candidates are felons. Oh, wait...

It goes farther back than that. Comey got butthurt when he laid out the case against Hillary and then said he wasn't going to file charges, and Trump skewered him for it. And with the release of the shamefully redacted correspondence between Lynch's DOJ and Comey's FBI we can see why Comey got...

Any litigator will tell you that insurance industry employees and teachers make the worst jurors, because they have a strong tendency to factor in and convict based on things outside of the presented evidence. Prosecutors favor them, though. Journalists, on the other hand, as a group, tend to...

The WSJ says special grand jury, the NYT says most definitely not, and The Hill uses unnamed sources that won't confirm and has a story loaded with qualifiers like "some say." That's why I don't see any bets based on reporting. It doesn't matter either way. Mueller-dedicated or not, the jury...

I suppose it's possible, but I don't really trust the reporting. The original reporting had Mueller empanelling a special grand jury, which Virginia didn't even have. In any case, a dedicated grand jury is possible, but they still only sit for 6 months, so unless he's already planning to wrap...
